Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Escape from the Cave at none against Cavernous's 1. Escape from the Cave also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Cavernous's advantage is update cadence (every 6 months vs every 19 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
